Red-White-Red Card Plus for Ukrainians
Your next step after temporary protection
If you are living in Austria under temporary protection status, you may be eligible to transition to the Red-White-Red Card Plus — a long-term residence and work permit that is yours to keep, regardless of political decisions. To qualify, you need at least 12 months of employment in Austria within the last 24 months, and your income must meet the legal minimum threshold. The income requirement is where most people get stuck. Use our free income checker to see where you stand.
What this means for you
Here's what the Red-White-Red Card Plus (Rot-Weiß-Rot Karte Plus) gives you from day one.
More secure than temporary protection
The ID card for displaced persons is temporary. This is a long-term residence title, providing a stable foundation for your future in Austria.
Unrestricted right to work
Work for any employer in any role without needing separate sponsorship. You get full, unrestricted access to the Austrian labor market.
Path to permanent residence
Time spent in Austria with your displaced persons card counts toward the five years needed for Permanent Residence EU (Daueraufenthalt-EU).
You can apply if you meet these criteria:
- You hold an Austrian ID card for displaced persons (Ausweis für Vertriebene).
- You were employed with full insurance for 12 of the last 24 months, or are self-employed with SVS insurance.
- You have German language skills at A1 level or a qualifying university diploma.
- You have adequate means of subsistence, accommodation, and health insurance.

“I had heard many times that MA35 is like a branch of hell. But with MyPaperwork, I honestly didn't feel that at all. They helped me collect and translate all the documents, organize everything properly, and even accompanied me to the MA35 office. I'm very grateful for their support and truly satisfied with the experience.”

“At the end of November 2025, with the help of mypaperwork, I submitted documents for an RWR+ card in Vienna. And today, January 16, 2026, I already received my RWR+ card for 3 years. I want to sincerely thank Benjamin and his team. With their help, preparing the documents and visiting the magistrate was incredibly easy and stress-free. Their accompaniment to the magistrate was very important, especially when visiting such an important institution for the first time. I am very satisfied with their work and how everything is thoughtfully organized. Many sincere thanks!!!”

Common RWR+ Card questions
Everything you need to know about the transition to the RWR+ Card and beyond.
-
You can apply if you hold an Austrian ID card for displaced persons (Ausweis für Vertriebene) and were employed in Austria with full social insurance for at least 12 months within the last 24 months. You also need to meet income, accommodation, and German language requirements.
-
Yes. The time you have spent in Austria with your ID card for displaced persons counts toward the five years required for Permanent Residence EU (Daueraufenthalt-EU). You don't start from zero when you get the new card.
-
Yes, usually at A1 level. Certificates from ÖIF, ÖSD, Goethe Institut, or Telc are accepted if they are less than a year old. If you have completed Module 1 or 2 of the Integration Agreement, you already meet this requirement. If you hold a university degree, this acts in replacement of the language requirement. Upload your documents to get them verified by our team.
-
Yes. Your spouse or partner and unmarried children under 18 can receive their own permits based on your application. We handle the full family application together.
-
Your right of residence as a displaced person remains fully intact. A rejection does not affect your current status; you can continue to live and work in Austria under your current ID card.
-
We provide a full service in English, Ukrainian, and German. We check your eligibility, build your document checklist, and a human expert reviews your entire application before your MA35 appointment to ensure success.
-
Your Red-White-Red Card Plus is a fully independent residence title. If the temporary protection scheme ends, your RWR+ Card is not affected — you keep your right to live and work in Austria regardless. This is one of the key reasons to make the transition now while you are eligible.
